School

School is a glorious place filled with happiness. False. School is hell with fluorescent lighting. True. As you can see I hate school. But doesn't everyone. Who wants to go to a place that you have to go to for 8 hours to learn things you don't care about and then get home and have to go over everything you just learned for 2 hours. Anyone that does like it is crazy. Let's go over what I'm learning right now to see how useless it is. In math I'm learning triangle congruence by ASA and AAS. Who the fuck cares if two triangles are congruent. I sure as hell don't. In civics we had a review game today for a test. My team won but we get nothing for winning. In science we're learning about mole. No, by mole I do mean the animal or the thing on peoples faces. This mole is an amount of a substance that contains approximately 6.02 times 10 to the power of 23 particles of that substance. Confused? Me too but the part that confuses me the most is the abbreviation for mole. The abbreviation is mol. Yes they abbreviated a four letter word into a three letter word. How lazy are people that they don't feel like putting an e at the end of mole. I mean really. I know that l is on one side of the key board and e is all the way on the other side but come on. It's not that hard to type an e. Look, I just did it. This is the reason that America is fat. We're to lazy to type an e but not to lazy to drive to McDonalds to get a big mac. This is why I hate school On the bright side I do like english. I learn more useless shit but at least I get to read a good story. The story this week was called 'Lamb to the Slaughter' by Roald Dahl. It's about a woman who loves her police man husband and is 6 months pregnant. He comes home and is acting strange and then tells her something (we never find out what it is he tells her but we're guessing he was leaving her possible because of an affair). At first she denies it and tries to pretend every things ok and gets a leg of lamb to cook for dinner. She gets the lamb and goes into the room where he tells her he's going out. She becomes mad and hits him over the head with the lamb. He dies and because she has a baby and doesn't want anything to happen to it she makes a plan. She starts cooking the lamb and heads out to the grocery store acting as if nothings wrong. She acts like a caring wife getting food for her husband. She goes back home and finds him dead and calls the police who come. After talking to the guy at the grocery store who was helping the woman they suspect nothing. She offers them a drink and later food saying that her husband would not have liked her to not offer them anything after all there hard work and tells them there's lamb that should be done in the kitchen. They comply and eat the food thus destroying the only evidence they had. It's a very good story. Anyways I have a little test for everyone. See how many of them you can get right. Even if you're an adult you can take it and see how much stuff you learned in school that you don't need later in life.
